Just as the title says: Where the deuce deuce is it? 2015 and not a single one has been put out to market by CMMG.
Last word was CMMG was waiting for end sellers to make a large enough order before CMMG actually begins to make these.
That was 3 years ago; I am certain that by now, enough end sellers, probably all of them on-line stores, would have fullfilled CMMG's initial request for a minimum of 1,000 orders.
I can understand if the .22LR ammo scare of that time ruined the popularity of .22LR conversion kits for various firearms, but today, .22LR is making a comeback on the shelves of almost all of my local gunstores with the prices of each brick coming back down to a decent price.
The time is ripe for CMMG to get back on the ball and finally get this product out to the sellers.
I will buy one for the sake of the cheapness of .22LR ammo, the flexibility to switch to a much smaller pea-shooting varmint round, and the simple ability to be able to pull the trigger more often because of the probability that the CMMG high capacity mag will hold a significant amount more of .22LR rounds than even the 50rd 5.7x28 mag.
If there is some technical/design problems, such as perfecting the .22LR mag or making the movement group (bolt assembly) work properly to load .22LR rounds into the 5.7x28mm firing chamber such that the .22LR is pushed all the way into the chamber's neck without a dangerous amount of .22LR brass sticking back such that it is fired with half of its ass still in the larger diameter portion of the chamber, I can understand that.
I would at the very least want CMMG to come forward and say why it is not out yet.
1) Not enough projected sales to make up for the research, development, tooling, and other production costs.
2) Still trying to hash out the technical and design issues.
What it is:
CMMG .22 Evolution for FN P90 / PS90 - The Firearm Blog
vid from 2012 Shot Show, and I cannot find any more recent vids of this CMMG
